After Gawain decided to help, Roy first asked him to go back and take a shower and take care of it.

After all, the next person to meet is the big man of the Knights Templar.

Gawain's current residence is on the edge of the city, where he lives with his wife, children, and other relatives.

Roy and Arya were waiting across the street and didn't choose to go in.

For those relatives, Arya has become their abandoned son who has broken their tails to survive, and if they see each other again, the atmosphere must be very awkward.

After waiting for a while, Gawain walked out.

Changed into a formal suit, with a matching sword at his waist, and a resolute expression, which was completely different from the previous image of a sloppy mercenary.

He looked at Roy with blazing eyes.

"Where are we going next? How much truth do you really know? ”

"Wait, I'm going to test a guess before I do that." Roy raised his hand and interrupted his questioning.

"Mr. Gawain, do you know a man named Roman?"

Gawain was slightly stunned: "I only know one named Roman, his full name is Roman Wolfe, and he is a classmate of Sims, the head of the Adams family." ”

"They have a good relationship, and our family is a family friend of the Addams family, so we have had a few encounters with him...... What's wrong with him? ”

Roy took a deep breath: "He's a "dead whisper"? ”

"Yes!" Gawain nodded, and then as if he had guessed something, his face changed instantly.

"Roman is the murderer?"

Although he is not an inheritor, he was born in a noble knight family, so he is naturally no stranger to various inheritances.

If it were dead, it would explain why Ivy had committed suicide and why the slaves had made confessions that didn't match the facts.

"It's him, but not all." Roy nodded, then shook his head again.

Roman is nothing more than a pawn, a murderous dagger, and the real mastermind is someone else.

Otherwise, it doesn't explain why the Grim Reaper of the Dungeon would target an Uptown nobleman who has no conflict of interest with him.

"Why him? We have no grievances with Roman! ”

Gawain paced back and forth, puzzled, "Could it be that Sims instructed him?" But what good is it for him to frame us! ”

"Maybe there is." Roy said slowly, "Sims shouldn't be affiliated with the same knight order as you, right?" ”

Gawain nodded.

"There are three sub-divisions of the Knights of the Templars, which correspond to the three lineages of the knighthood: the Holy Knights Branch, the Guardian Knight Branch, and the Mithril Knight Branch."

"Among them, our family belongs to the Holy Knights Branch, and the Addams family belongs to the Guardian Knights Branch."

Roy let out a long breath, "I see, it seems that you are being drawn into the internal struggle of the Templar Knights. ”

Powerful opponents are not scary, what is scary is always the unknown lurking in the shadows.

At this point, he finally figured out who the two players in this game were.

What he has to do is to go to the player who represents his interests and persuade him to play the move that is most beneficial to him.

"What we're looking for now is the head of the Holy Knights."

Roy muttered, "Only with his power can the Christian family have the possibility of overturning the case." ”

Gawain didn't say a word, and immediately set off, taking Roy and Arya into the carriage.

Along the way, he told everything he knew about the Knights Templar.

The Knights of the Templars are subordinate to three sub-clans, and the heads of the three sub-regiments are respectively the three knights of the Eighteenth Family of the Templar Family, who are responsible for the corresponding sub-regiments, namely:

Representatives of the Holy Knights: The Paladine family, who are in charge of the Holy Knights.

Guardian Knights: The Abrahamic family, in charge of the Guardian Knights sub-order.

Mithril Knights Representative: The Nidhogg family, in charge of the Mithril Knights Branch.

On top of the sub-head of the Knights Templar, there is also the position of "Chief Commander", and when all members of the Knights are required to participate in large-scale strategy battles, the Chief Commander will lead the three armies.

In addition, when Sidnia allocates funds to the Knights Templar, the use of the funds will also be arranged by the Chief Commander.

Each Templar Commander is elected from among three sub-commanders, and once he ascends to the throne, he will remain in office until he is sixty years old, unless he falls by accident or makes a major mistake.

It is conceivable that the head of the regiment will definitely have a preference for the sub-regiment to which he belongs, and his sub-regiment will also make more "oil and water" during his tenure.

Therefore, every general election of the head of the Order symbolizes a reshuffling of interests within the Order.

These three sub-orders of knights all tried their best to support their own sub-leaders to become the chief of the Knights of the Templars.

The head of the Knights Templar is the head of the Palatine family, the representative of the Holy Knights, who has just turned sixty.

This year is the last year of his term.

In another month, early next year, the new general election of the Order will begin.

"That's ...... so"

Roy propped his chin thoughtfully, matching the information with his own conjectures.

Did the Addams family frame the Christian family in disregard of their friendships in order to pour dirty water on the Holy Knight Branch and increase the probability of the success of the Guardian Knight Branch's election?

It is undeniable that this calculation has indeed paid off, because of the scandal of the Christian family, the reputation of the Holy Knights to which he belongs has also taken a big hit.

At this juncture, the general election of the Knights is held, and the head of the Holy Knight Branch may not be able to convince the public, and will be labeled as a person who does not supervise his subordinates effectively, and can no longer compete for the position of chief leader.

At this time, the carriage drove to the Palatine family's mansion.

As one of the temple families, the Palatin Mansion was no less magnificent than the Qin family.

Inside the main entrance is a huge fountain, the nozzle is a naked child, and in the center is carved a winged knight in armor, with his eyes closed and his sword pointed towards the sky, which looks extremely sacred and elegant.

Behind the fountain is a church-like arched building, with a milky white exterior wall and a large green dome, solemn and solemn.

Gawain stepped forward and whispered a few words to the guard at the door.

They seemed to know each other, after all, they were all members of the Holy Knights, and after the guards went in and reported, they were quickly and smoothly released.

The servant who guided Roy and his party was also dressed as a heavily armed knight, and his face was meticulous, and he did not show any unnecessary expression because of their visit.

The knight did not lead them through the main entrance, but, after turning around, entered the mansion through the side door and knocked on the door of one of the rooms.

"Lord Leon, bring the guests."

"Come in." A calm male voice sounded from inside the door.

The knight pushed open the door and bowed down in a gesture of invitation.

It was like a study, but it wasn't too big, and it was probably used as a makeshift reception room.

The room was covered with a soft red carpet, and directly opposite the door was a solid wood desk, in front of which a middle-aged man with blonde hair sat and looked at them from afar.

He is the current head of the Palatine family, the current head of the Holy Knights, and one of the three candidates for the election of the head of the Knights.

Leon Paladin.

The original head of the family was his father, who was also the former chief of the Knights Templar.

When the old head of the regiment turned sixty this year and was about to leave office, he entrusted all the power of the Palatine family to Leon.

"Captain."

Gawain stepped forward, placed his right hand in a fist in his heart, and bowed to Leon.

"Long time no see, Gawain."

Leon stood up, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, his expression a little emotional.

Although the two are both blonde, when they stand together, it can be clearly contrasted, the blonde hair of the Christian family is pale blonde, while the blonde hair of the Paladin family is more vivid bright gold.

The group took their seats one after another, and Leon seemed to be aware of it, and his eyes stayed on Arya for a while, and then turned to Gawain:

"She's Ivey's daughter, isn't she?"

"Yes, her name is Arya, and she has just awakened to become a Holy Knight."

Gao Wen said respectfully, with unconcealed pride on his face.

Neither he nor Ivey have awakened, so they have gradually faded out of the power center of the Holy Knights, and many times it is difficult to have the opportunity to meet the leader alone, and the leader will not hand over important tasks to an ordinary knight.

Therefore, in the past, when facing the head of the regiment and his fellow inheritors, he always felt a sense of distance and alienation from each other.

Even if his family was framed later, he did not seek help from Leon, because he understood that the Christian family had long lost the weight of speaking in the Holy Knights.

If Leon wanted to help him, he did it in the first place. And if Leon is not ready to help, even if he asks Leon to protect Christian's house, there is no doubt that he will be closed.

But now it's different, and it's Arya who gives him the courage to stand in front of Leon.

and the dark-haired boy named Roy, whose calm tone seemed to be confident in everything, and people couldn't help but want to believe what he said.

"I see."

Leon bowed slightly, "Do you want me to put her in the Knights?" ”

"Huh?" Gawain was stunned for a moment.

"The Christian family has been charged with serious crimes, and the reputation of the Knights has been damaged, and under this bad record, the descendants of his family will not be able to return to the Order."

Leon looked at Gawain, "But after all, you are the old family of the Holy Knights, and more than ten generations of Christian's family have shed blood under Paladin's command, and when I think of the old feelings, I will make an exception for Arya to join the Knights......

"As for whether she can be affirmed by the rest of the group and regain the glory of the Christian family, it depends on her future efforts."

Gawain was caught off guard by Leon's words, and blinked in confusion.

Although Leon's proposal was very appealing to him, he did feel that becoming a knight of the Holy Order was the destiny of the descendants of the Christian family, and it would be great if Arya could return to the Order-

But that's not what he's trying to say to Leon now!

Just as Gawain was about to explain, Roy on the side spoke first:

"Lord Leon, of course Arya can return to the Knights, and there is no need to make an exception."

"Not only is there no exception, but she's also a hero of the Holy Knights, and she deserves a grand welcome—"

"Because, it is Arya who has sacrificed so much for the Holy Knights, it is the Christian family."

At this moment, Roy's eyes met Leon's.

There was neither dodging nor provocation in his eyes, just calmly staring at him.

"You are?" Leon raised an eyebrow.

This young man doesn't look very old, but he can talk to the superior on someone else's home field.

He was unafraid, and seemed to be able to speak more easily than Gawain.

But this courage is far beyond that of his peers.

"Roy Arnold, sort of Arya's...... Friend. ”

Roy smiled slightly, "You are really a good regiment leader who is sympathetic to your subordinates, obviously this incident is so serious, and even directly affects your upcoming general regiment chief election, but you can still think about your subordinates." ”

"It's just that I think, how did it come to this?"

"Ivey is loyal to the Order and would not commit such a crime, and you should know better than anyone why he was framed."

"The Paladin family is the most powerful of the three knight representative families, and the last head of the Templar Order is Ling Zun, and if your opponents do not damage your reputation, they will have no chance of winning when competing with you for the position of the next chief master."

"But Your Excellency, can the person who snatched the position of Chief Master by such a subordinate means really lead the Knights to a bright future......

"Enough!" Leon abruptly interrupted Roy.

"You're not from the Order, so I forgive you for your rudeness, but there will be no next time."

He looked at Roy expressionlessly, with a kind of momentum that was not angry and arrogant, and said in a deep voice.

"Please remember that they are also the heads of the Knights, don't slander them in front of me, because this is also slandering me and the reputation of the entire Knights!"
